    I've reached the pathetic stage of only having interest in occasionally purchasing games but never playing them for more than 45 minutes.

    This is fair, Punk is polarizing af - I watched with and without Punk and would continue to watch regardless, I just feel Punk adds something that I didn't initially realize was missing.

    I thought "gripe bomb" was HILARIOUS. Khan's blank stare was amazing.

    I'm hopeful - I didn't think punk was that bad, beyond that insane hangman match where he botched the buckshot lariat twice. His value to me is largely his work on the mic and the t-shirts he wears into hostile territories. If he can re-create the MJF feud a few times, the sky is the limit.

    I forgot all about that one - I didn't think it was going to survive series 3 - looks like the NZ gov paid the tab.

    I'm home! I watch AEW, ROH, NJPW & GCW mostly. No WWE, at all. The fast cuts make me ill and their "product" is meh to these eyes.

    HELL YES, Happy to see some AEW talk here. I got back into wresting for the first time since the early 90's in 2019 when AEW started up. I've since seen every episode of dynamite & rampage and every PPV. I used to even do Dark & Elevation until they got to be so long and entirely squashes. I'm a total CM Punk mark.

    Taskmaster++. Having it between series is NOT IDEAL. Hopefully Australia gets going again soon-ish.

    My wife and I have gotten into a bunch of British comedies over the last 3+ years.
    I can recommend: Am I being unreasonable, Ambassadors, Back, Bloods, The Cleaner, Cuckoo, Cunk on.., Derry Girls, The Duchess, Ellie & Natasha, Flowers, Fresh Meat, Game Face, Ghosts, Hullraisers, The Inbetweeners, Joe Lycett's Got Your Back, Late Night Lycett, Lovesick, Mandy, Meet the Richardsons, The Mighty Boosh, Moone Boy, Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy, Outsiders, Peep Show, People Just Do Nothing, Rain Dogs, Romantic Getaway, This Country, Toast of London, & Toast of Tinseltown.

    We discovered most of these shows by watching Taskmaster, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Would I Lie to You and Hypothetical and then looking up the funniest cast members and seeing what else they were in.

    Those look delicious. It's days like this where I'm sure moving to the middle of the continent was a terrible choice :/
